When Anthony Lawrence fired a touchdown pass to Michael Bandy with 14:05 to play in the first quarter, it appeared that it was business as usual for the Toreros. With Lawrence connecting with his favorite receiver early on, USD looked to be well on their way to their 34th consecutive home conference victory on a sunny Saturday afternoon at Torero Stadium. However, the remaining 44 minutes and five seconds of USD’s matchup against Davidson University — who USD defeated by more than 50 points last season — were anything but routine.
